Must Know Thriller Beats

I'm sharing must know thriller beats for a standard, 3 act structured linear thriller! These are big beats that thriller readers will expect. These are similar/snap up along side the Blake Snyder Beat Sheet in many places.

I focus on murder storylines with investigations, but many of the beats can be adjusted for any suspense novel. The focus is on building tension and the emotional experience of the reader.
